I called allan last week.

I'm sure that he won't mind me telling you this ...

Because he told me .....

He's gotten to be pretty old.

It's a terrible thing,

Shane had a plate on the front of his car that said, "The Golden Years Suck!"

I remember ... he was in a terrible mood when he turned 50.

That was just the start of it.

Actually, I'm doing pretty well with it.

Better than I have in the past.

It's the fresh air and great blue skies out here in the country.

I've lost 20 pounds and most of my hair.

I had to go to town to buy some new pants.

I went to the mall.

It was like a ghost town.

In the store .... there was this horrible music.

I felt like I was in a horror movie.

Yikes !!!!!!!!

I must really be getting old.
